7th Grade Language Arts Week 1: Descriptive Food Project

This week students were given the following creative writing task:
“You will choose a food item that you really enjoy.  This could be something that is very common (pizza, burgers, candy) or something unique (perhaps an item from your culture).  After you’ve chosen your food item, you will write a descriptive paragraph about the item and the overall food experience.  Your goal is to make your audience drool when they hear your description.  Appeal to all their senses: touch, taste, see, feel, and hear.  You will also create a visual representation of the food item to show during your presentation.”  

The goal of this writing assignment is to enhance our writing with the best possible word choice, sensory language, and figurative language.  Students may also bring in a sample of their food item to share with the class during their presentation.

Check back to see how these projects are developing!
